China-based tech brand Tecno has unveiled its AI glasses and new laptops.
The planned move will exclude Japan's Sharp Corp and Japan Display from Apple's handset business, Nikkei said.
Samsung updated its QLED and OLED TV line-up at CES 2024, and introduced an 8K Premier short-throw projector.
The investment is part of a previously-announced plan by Samsung Electronics and affiliates to invest 60.1 trillion won in the next 10 years in regions outside the capital, Seoul.
The changes are part of a sweeping effort to replace Apple supplies with homegrown parts, an undertaking that will give the company more control over the design and capabilities of its products

Japan Display, one of the main suppliers of iPhone liquid crystal display (LCD) screens, has lagged its South Korean rivals in OLED production. By contrast, shares in LG Display Co Ltd surged.
Samsung Display now plans to make OLED panels for 20 million or fewer iPhones at the South Chungcheong plant in the January-March quarter, significantly lower than its initial goal of supplying panels for 45 million to 50 million iPhones, the Nikkei reported.
The approval comes five months after LG Display announced it would invest in large-size OLED production in Guangzhou, China, to respond to fast-growing demand for the screens in TVs in overseas markets.
The tech giant is expected to announce a bevy of products, including two new iterative iPhone updates, possibly named the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus, in addition to a high-end iPhone 8. Apple is also reportedly gearing up to announce a new 4K Apple TV that will support sharper content than current models, and a new Apple Watch.
The paper said Google offered the investment to secure a stable supply of flexible OLED screens for its next Pixel smartphones. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's flagship Galaxy smartphones use the bendable displays, while Apple Inc is expected to start using them in at least some of its next iPhones.
The statement came after the Nikkei business daily reported that Sharp forecasts operating profit of about 40 billion yen (USD 385 million) for the business year through March. That would compare with the 6.6 billion yen average of 11 analyst estimates in a Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S poll.
The investment will take place between April and June 2018, the company said, adding that there will not be any impact on the company's financial results in the year to March.
The company said it will spend an initial 1.84 trillion won to begin building the plant, called P10, in Paju, South Korea, to make panels across all product segments including large screens for TVs and flexible OLED panels for devices such as smartwatches and auto displays.
At present, above 40 inch panels account for about 40-59 per cent of LG's total TV sales in India. He further said that LG is also looking at maximising its line of OLED TV range.
LG Display Co, a supplier to Apple Inc, said that over the next three years it plans to spend 10 trillion won (USD 8.4 billion) on future displays including OLED, flexible displays and high-end LCD screens. It did not give breakdown figures, saying the size for each type of display will hinge on market situations.

South Korea's LG Display Co Ltd said on Thursday that it will invest 1.05 trillion won (USD 908 million) to build a new local plastic organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display production plant, ramping up spending for the next-generation technology.
